Flexible Spending Accounts

What you need to know

FSAs allow you to set aside money from your paycheck on a pretax basis to pay for qualified health care and/or dependent care costs. Partners are not eligible to contribute to an FSA. Available to employees only.

Types of FSAs Available to You

HealthEquity is the firm’s FSA administrator. The types of FSAs available to you are the following:

General Purpose Health Care FSA

If you are enrolled in the BCBS Blue Care Elect Preferred PPO Plan, you may participate in this account and use pretax dollars to pay for eligible medical, vision, and dental expenses.

Limited Purpose Health Care FSA

If you are enrolled in the BCBS Blue Care Elect Saver HDHP, you can participate in this account and use tax-free dollars for eligible dental and/or vision expenses. Participation in this FSA also allows you to contribute to an HSA and maximize those pretax funds for medical expenses or investing for the future.

Dependent Care FSA

This account allows you to use pretax dollars to be reimbursed for eligible child care for dependents under age 13 or adult day care for a disabled spouse or an adult whom you claim as a dependent.

Discover what expenses you can use your FSA for. Where it says “Select product,” choose your account type (Health Care FSA, Dependent Care FSA, or LPFSA) and review the most popular expenses. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, check out the link to the non-qualifying expense list.
